• Support FPGA- and microcontroller-based hardware design and integration activities.

• Conduct power supply analysis and evaluate suitable power supply topologies for hardware applications.

• Support video and memory interface design, integration and validation.

• Prepare and maintain hardware design documentation, test reports and technical specifications.

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve design issues, manage dependencies and ensure timely delivery of development milestones.

• Take ownership of assigned engineering activities, identify technical challenges proactively and drive issues through to resolution.

• Communicate technical findings, design decisions and project progress clearly to relevant stakeholders.

Required Skills & Experience

• 7–12 years of relevant experience in hardware design, electronic product development or a related engineering discipline.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, preferably in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering or a related field.

• Hands-on experience with the product development lifecycle.

• Strong understanding of basic circuit theory, including voltage, current, electronic circuits, and passive and active components.

• Practical experience working with high-speed ICs.

• Hands-on experience with schematic design tools and an understanding of PCB layout guidelines.

• Practical laboratory testing, hardware debugging and troubleshooting experience.

• Knowledge of electronic hardware design, hardware architecture and design documentation.

• Understanding of FPGA and microcontroller-based hardware systems.

• Experience with power supply analysis and power supply topologies.

• Knowledge of video interfaces and memory interfaces.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate and resolve hardware design issues.

• Excellent communication and cross-functional coordination skills.

• Demonstrated ownership, self-motivation and the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with engineering teams.

Desirable Skills & Experience

• Experience in end-to-end hardware product development and design verification.

• Exposure to high-speed digital design principles, signal integrity and hardware interface validation.

• Familiarity with PCB design, schematic capture and hardware validation tools.

• Experience integrating FPGA, microcontroller, memory and video interface subsystems.

• Knowledge of hardware testing methodologies, design reviews and product qualification processes.

• Experience working in multidisciplinary product engineering or electronics development environments.

• Familiarity with engineering documentation standards and structured product development processes.
